A friend and I just wrapped up our first Bresaola!

We followed the recipe in the Ruhlman book – about two weeks in the fridge and then we put it up to dry. We got to ~35% weight loss in about a month and now took it out. We were running at about 55F . We had a bit more humidity fluctuation than we wanted, but we generally kept it averaged out around 70 (a bit higher the first week). Just a bit of white mold growth, but quite minor overall.

Thinking of our next project…

    Fantastic. I have 2 bresaola going right now. One is equalizing, the other is still curing.

  3. I have and love that knife! Fun seeing another person with it in the “wild”. Lovely looking bresaola.
